Derian Shaffer brought steady frontcourt value for SIUE
In the 2012-13 season, Derian Shaffer was a reliable SIUE forward who started 26 of 27 games, averaged 6.2 points and 4.6 rebounds, and gave the Cougars a physical, low-drama presence inside. His calling card was steady production rather than flash: he helped on the glass, held up as a full-time starter, and fit as a dependable glue guy in the frontcourt. If you want a tough, experienced role player who can anchor possessions and do the unglamorous work, Shaffer fits that profile well.[1][8]
